New York Fries - Burnaby

If you ever find yourself in a mall food court in the Lower Mainland, New York Fries is a reliable choice for poutine. Despite its name, New York Fries can be found in malls across the area, not in New York City. The poutine here is simple and satisfying, perfect for when you're craving comfort food. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. The portion size was adequate for me. Personally, I'm not a big fan of their fries as I find them a bit soggy, even without the gravy. However, I do appreciate that they leave the potato skins on, giving the edges a crispy texture. The gravy is on the salty side and a bit watery. The cheese curds are standard, with a chewy and moist texture. Overall, it's not a bad option, but I still prefer Costco's poutine over New York Fries.

A delicious and filling option at NY Fries is their poutine hot dog drink combo. For around $11, you can enjoy a satisfying meal. The lines are typically shorter here compared to other options in the food court, like Tim Hortons and Subway. Plus, you have the freedom to customize your hot dog at the self-serve station.

I would choose fries over friends any day. When was the last time fries disappointed you? (Other than when they are limp and sad looking, just kidding. My friends are great). It has been ages since I last had New York fries. They were a childhood favorite of mine. I always go for the large or extra large size, nothing else will do! Fresh, thick, and full of potato flavor, in my opinion, these are one of the best things you can get in a food court. I love that they leave the skins on! These fries are so flavorful you don't even need ketchup.

I really like NYF and I appreciate that they have a loyalty program (buy 10, get 1 free)._The service at Metrotown isn't the best and sometimes they don't
